Thailand’s new government is moving ahead to pass new legisalation banning cannabis for recreational use in a major reversal 18 months after the country became the first in Asia to decriminalize the plant.
The relaxed laws saw a lucrative cannabis industry catering to locals and foreigners alike boom across the Southeast Asian nation, but a new conservative coalition government came to power late last year vowing to tighten the rules and only allow medical use.
A draft bill was released on Tuesday by Thailand’s health ministry outlining hefty fines or prison sentences of up to one year for offenders – or both.
Great, it’s a dangerous drug after all.
So is caffeine.
Comparing the odds of developing schizophrenia: opting for marijuana may play a risky hand, with research hinting at potential links, while moderate coffee consumption stands on more stable ground, lacking conclusive evidence tying it to a heightened risk.
Choose wisely.

Cannabis doesn’t cause schizophrenia. It merely brings out symptoms earlier than normal in individuals that already have schizophrenia but haven’t had a major episode yet.
Repeat after me: Correlation Does Not Equal Causation.

Can you share some of that research with me? Anecdotally, I know plenty of non-schizophrenic stoners.

You made a claim, and refuse to support it with evidence. Sounds like a troll or an idiot to me.
It sounds like I’m not wasting my time with people that don’t know how to do basic tasks like searching in Google
Be honest, you have literally nothing better to do than spread misinformation, you’re already wasting your time.
That’s not our job in an argument tho. You make a claim, people asked you to show evidence - now it’s your turn to to your part of the debate and show what it is that made you so sure that this was true.
I don’t care about winning an argument against you. It’s your loss, not mine lol
Cannabis doesn’t cause anyone to “develop” schizophrenia.
You are right. Smoking weed by itself doesn’t make someone get schizophrenia, but there’s solid research showing a link between heavy cannabis use and a higher risk of developing schizophrenia, especially in folks who might already have a predisposition to it. So, it’s essential to look at the bigger picture of what the studies are telling us.
That doesnt mean it’s dangerous to society at large, and I’d argue that authoritarism IS. Also, (illicit) heavy cannabis use saved my life and is the only thing that adaquately treats my depression and allows me to function like a normal human being. So reading this honestly makes me want to tell you to go play in traffic -The world is bleak-a-fucking-nough I hope you’re at least getting paid to post this crap
authoritarism is the #1 danger
You seem very sane, definitely not addicted.
Would you say the same thing to someone who needs SSRIs to maintain stability?
no there isn’t
Yes and your chances are very very low… Lower than say getting hit by a car.
And that’s factoring the possible 30% increase in incident rate from those studies…

This astroturf smells like shit
Nah, it just supports general atrocities like child labour and slaves though.
Bruh, your account is decked out as a McDonald’s advertisement. Nothing you say will ever be respected.

So is alcohol
Alcohol is the beverage of Gods
Maybe that’s why all the gods died out?
Trololol
I love it when bots come in and act like they have a great gotcha saying.
Like sugar or heroine?
Kinda, yes
Kinda what? That’s not a binary question. Is weed a dangerous drug like sugar, or a dangerous drug like heroine? What kind of dangerous drug is it? Ketamine?

Anything that can get you the death penalty is dangerous by proxy.
